LAST YEARS TRADE.

$I4soI.76. Dried bananas dropped
out altogether, there having been Soa
boxes exported the previous year. This
was an enterprise Of the Alden Fruit

better fate. The foreign taste evidently

against 1887 pounds the previous year,
the value of which was $3.50. Calf
skins, los pieces, increase 10, value
Sos. From the consumption Of veal
in Honolulu alone, this small export Of
calfskins is surprising. Taro flour is a
new export, 44o pounds valued at
$3S.aa going off AS this product is
generously subsidized by act OF the

we're exported to the value Of $Io,-
1895, being $5,I64.59 more than the
value OF those exported in 1885. AS
these represent productions Of small
industries, Island curios, ETC., they
show where the exports are capable of
material expansion without the inter
vention Of large capital. The total
value ofexportsin $50 was $40, 34o,37s.-

increase Of 81, 3SI,7ILao. The increase
in the value Of sugar exported, in the
face of lower prices, having been

ductive enterprise Of the Kingdom,
outside of sugar raising, has in the
aggregate fallen behind during the past
year. This does not look as if the
agitation for diversified industries has
had much effect SO far, but let us hope
that patience and perseverance in the
good cause will yet bear fruit in en-

ST, PAUL, Alyil 9O.-Our Section held q public meeting last Sunday, in winch the relative worth of mutual benevolent associations was the subject of discussion. The conclusions reached were that such associations being maintained, on the part of capitalists, for the purpose of making men more dependent on them, 1t IS commendable for workmen to found such organizations for the relief of mem bers; and to make them subservient for progressive, |. c., socialistic purposes, the same as they are now being maintained to keep people in ignorance and subjec- ton.
